A scientific tale
walking hand-in-hand with a cool adventure story about buried treasure
-- Who could ask for anything more?

Two scientists, Peter Clopec
and Brian Pauliss, are working for OPC (Odessa Petroleum Consultants).
They were hired to look for oil deposits on the earth using satellite
technology. The satellite is unable to work as efficiently as they
wanted it to, so the scientific team of Clopec and Pauliss are fired
from OPC. The CEO of the oil company has been planning a “move,” using a
satellite to find oil, in order to drive up the price of the company's
stock so he can buy, sell, and retire a billionaire (SOUND FAMILIAR?)
Of course, he ACTUALLY plans to bring the satellite down and blame the
scientists for not being able to find any oil. But, instead of slinking
away, the team is determined to show that their ideas are noteworthy,
so they sneak into OPC and re-calibrate the satellite to detect the
density of gold. And, by the time the CEO's plan is completed, they
will have found treasure beyond their wildest dreams.

Along with
Billie Johnson, a beautiful dive master and salvage expert, they start
on their quest for treasure. Peter and Brian think that, although the
satellite couldn't find the oil deposits, it IS able to ascertain that
there is real gold under the ocean and they can find it. After all, the
antique gold is there for the taking and the three of them are game to
try. They are also running away from a real psycho, who follows them
from the ocean near South Florida to the depths of the Black Sea in
Europe. If the super-trio can stay alive long enough they will collect
treasure that will astound the world.

Lost and Found is an
intriguing book that will keep you reading long into the night. Along
with treasure hunting, CEO's back-stabbing their own companies, and, of
course, a villain who is a real nut, this fabulous book is very hard to
put down. These men are not greedy, they just want everyone to know
that their satellite technology really works, and will do anything to
get redemption in the scientific community. It is literally a treasure
hunt that the likes of Captain Jack, Indiana Jones and, of course,
Clive Cussler, would be proud to be a part of.

Mr. Williams
lives in Florida and is a columnist and feature writer for a number of
newspapers in South Florida. He is also a Master Merchant Marine
Officer with the US Coast Guard. Along with being a veteran scuba diver
specializing in shipwrecks, he has an enthusiastic interest in deep-sea
archaeology. So, it stands to reason that he knows his subject. I
thoroughly enjoyed reading Lost
and Found. The book has everything you could ask for in a
mystery/thriller. Good Luck Mr. Williams!!!
